  1. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    Given it was in 7-8 range for similar mileage in the past, not sure I'm too worried about it. Not sure why it was so low this time. If I understand correctly, the # near the lower limit of 6 means at 100C the oil is not viscous enough, i.e. I need heavier weight in the 5 or 10w30, right? Does...
  2. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    While dealing with the tire fallout, I already got my oil sample results. Blackstone turned these around super quick. See below. Not trying to start a "should you change oil at 5k miles," but clearly the engine does very well for my usual changes anywhere between 5,500-7,800mi (albeit I'm most...
  3. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    Oh you're saying sell mine online and buy those originals with 4S on them, right? That's exactly the feeling, like a feeling of it "snapping" into position! I have the DWS06 on my NC Miata (or rather previous owner got new ones before selling it to me) and those don't feel as stout, they're...
  4. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    Wow, yeah, you're right, pretty much identical pricing to getting all 4 new tires. But then you got a set of identical wheels, what do you do with them? I guess I don't track the car enough anymore for that to make sense nor do I have the storage. But I do appreciate you putting the info out...
  5. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    Really? That genuinely shocks me. The rears were about $315/ea. Pilot sport 4S is not $384 (holy s*it). Even though those tires are stupid expensive, you can really find OEM Bullitt wheel + gently used tire for that? But again, like you're saying, 3rd set of wheels would really suck. Do you...
  6. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    I'd agree with you. This was Ford Lebanon, a dealer I've trusted pretty well over the past 5 years. They didn't want to road force balance fronts due to the wear. Pics below of the fronts, it doesn't strike me as wearing that much more on the fronts? Tire pressure virtually always correct...
  7. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    Put on what feels like the worst tires ever. I have had Pilot 4 AS on the Bullitt for a while before (I put on dedicated winters Dec-Feb). The rears wore very quickly, the fronts are still okay (though wearing more on the inside despite being told alignment is okay). The AS have a lot of meat...
  8. Installed Michelin Pilot Sport AS4

    I've had the P4 AS on for little over 2 years. As much as I liked the PS4 summers (even though they didn't last long, but I also did 2 track days), the all-seasons don't seem to last too long. They have been wearing a tad uneven on me (despite checking alignment and rotating them properly...
  9. Almost quitting time...

    Eh, mine's been through 4 Ohio winters at this point. Got a separate of set of wheels and a square setup of 255s PIrelli Sottozero 3. Handles like a champ. I paid too much dang money to have this sit, plus I don't wanna have a third car just for the winter. But I understand both camps.
  10. Lets talk car insurance !!!

    This is neither here nor there, but plenty of Americans also drive as uninsured motorists. Almost like there's bad apples in every group huh? I ended up getting quite high uninsured/underinsured coverages cause I just don't trust people, especially on the roads. But I guess that comes with a...
  11. Lets talk car insurance !!!

    Wow, that's crazy how much this varies! We live in OH, so I'm guessing less risk for the insurer than NJ, but come on, it's literally in their name? 50yrs with one insurance company is impressive, but maybe time to shop around? As far as $8k goes, yea, that's laughable. We must not be even...
  12. Lets talk car insurance !!!

    Obviously YMMV, especially by region and age and driving history. Myself and wife with no accidents or tickets at 32yo in OH, we pay $1,433/yr as of a week ago with NJM (just got our renewal) for a '19 Bullitt, '21 F150 and '07 Miata. All full coverage and low deductibles. The Bullitt's rate is...
  13. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    Thanks for your input. By "front and rears" do you mean the bumper itself, i.e. the steel component of the bumper?
  14. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    I gave it a wash the other day and have noticed this, while looking closely at the grill and trying to wash off all the bugs. This is a 65k mile vehicle, 4.5 years old. Should this rust concern me, especially on a part that should be painted and protected? Seems like that's a bit too much rust...
  15. Slippery Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S

    I had Pilot 4 S on my Bullitt as it came with them. Now switching between winter Sottozero 3 and Pilot 4 AS. I got for first OH winter (2020) separate set of square setup of Pirelli Sottozero 3 winters. They are on the car currently, likely coming off today. I've been using Pilot 4 AS for 2...
  16. Dash cam and mounting options?

    You can disable this in most camera settings or buy non-GPS mounts. The dual cams are not exclusively sold with GPS-only. Here's a link to one I have and you can purchase without GPS mount (and later buy a GPS mount if you want). After I've replaced my tint, the GPS in my mount stopped working...
  17. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    Today celebrated its 4th birthday. I got it exactly 4 years ago on leap day 2020 about 2 weeks before covid hit. Back then, it was a dream as a foreigner in the US to own a Mustang and that exhaust note on the Bullitt sealed it for me. 4 years later, 60,900 miles and smiles for days. It's...
  18. Dash cam

    I don't think it does. I just always want to have as good of a resolution as I can when it comes to safety etc.
  19. Dash cam

    Glad I could help sir. And what's this "too cold?" Asking as a guy that got his Bullitt on winters right now. :) I jest. It is a PITA to work in the confined space in the cold. Funnily enough, my GPS mount stopped working, but it still charges, plus I got front tint, so I'm not looking to mess...
  20. Dash cam

    You bet, just paying it forward. :) Yeah, you can move the mirror quite well, doesn't interfere. I do have to move the mirror to get the camera dismounted and remove the cam to review footage (i.e. to pull out the SD card). This is not ideal, but it's due to my choice of the way I ran the...
